I'm a man now, I ain't no kid
I done some things I never should have did
I paid the price, my weight in pain
I'm a man now, I'm free of shame

When I took on trouble I was cocky and wild
Justified as a freeborn child
Not afraid of a earthly thing'
The bigger the bell, the louder the ring

I'm a man now, I ain't no kid
I done some things I never should have did
I paid the price, my weight in pain
I'm a man now, I'm free of shame

I ain't got no burden and I ain't no saint
I'm a pretty good man then again I ain't
Just one thing I can't stand to see
Is a pious man beggin' on TV

I'm a man now, I watch the news
This sad ol'world is given me the blues
I paid the price my weight in pain
I'm a man now I'm free of shame

Im a man now I ain't no kid
I done some things I never should have did
I paid the price my weight in pain
I'm a man now Im free of shame.
